The Mass of Saint Gregory
École allemande · vers 1500

At the center of the panorama, a painting where Christ steps down from the cross to walk on the altar during mass. In front of you, an oak chest locked with eight keys, each held by a different canon. To the left, on her dark pedestal, a Virgin in dinanderie from Limbourg. Three stories, one space.
